Every family is different. Every family is special.

Josie loves her family. Her mum, dad, brothers and sister
– they’re all the best and they all look different.

But people always seem to ask Josie “Is that YOUR mama?”, and
soon she starts to wonder if her family are actually supposed to
look the same.

When Josie shares her worries with her family, they find a way
to help her see what truly matters.

Heartfelt and empowering words by Patrice Lawrence, multi-award-winning
author of Orangeboy

Prize and The Queen’s Knickers Awards, 2021
